Oklahoma Cheese Grits

"It's a great day when my Mom serves up this Southern specialty! Cooked grits are combined with seasonings, cheese, and eggs, then baked. The eggs are the secret to light fluffy grits that melt in your mouth! You may adjust or eliminate the hot sauce to suit your taste."

  • 6 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking grits, dry

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
